Inhabit is a feature length documentary introducing permaculture: a design method that offers an ecological lens for solving issues related to agriculture, economics, governance, and on. The film presents a vast array of projects, concepts, and people, and it translates the diversity of permaculture into something that can be understood by an equally diverse audience. For those familiar, it will be a call to action and a glimpse into what's possible - what kind of projects and solutions are already underway. For those unfamiliar, it will be an introduction to a new way of being and a new way of relating to the Earth. For everyone, it will be a reminder that humans are capable of being planetary healing forces.
"This Kickstarter-funded film delivers a beautiful portrait of permaculture's potential in both rural and urban settings.”
"If we have an impact on the planet why can't it be a positive one? INHABIT showcases permaculture projects and they way regenerate our world.”

Speaker Marco Lam
Marco Chung-Shu Lam, MSOM, L.Ac.
Marco has been practicing and teaching permaculture and sustainable living skills for over twenty five years in diverse climates from the Andes to the Hawaiian islands. Originally trained by the founder of Permaculture, Bill Mollison, Marco’s teaching style moves away from the lecture format and emphasizes getting people’s hands in the Earth. Marco is the founder of the Mandala Integrative Medicine Clinic and a renowned acupuncturist and herbalist who grows many of the herbs used in his practice. His vision is a melding of ecological sustainability and nature-based health care where our personal healing and our land stewardship are deeply intertwined. Marco has been an active creator of new permaculture curriculum and pioneered the "Permaculture through the Seasons" course with Sandy Cruz and through the 9 month permaculture course planted seeds for a more robust permaculture community. Marco created the permaculture curriculum for the Environmental Studies department at Naropa University in 2006 and stewarded the program there for 6 years to become the most popular class on campus. He is passionate and committed to teaching a new generation of earth stewards and healers to show up with their gifts and presence to help regenerate the relationship between people and the Earth.

Look extinction in the eyes
4:00 PM: KIFARU with guest speaker Lindsey Kirkman, Denver Zoo

KIFARU is a feature documentary that journeys beyond the global headlines that have accumulated around 'Sudan,' the last male northern white rhino in existence, and explores the painful emptiness of extinction through the eyes of Sudan's three primary caregivers. Teetering on borrowed time and with his health in decline, Sudan's looming death and the uncertainty of employment that it will bring hangs over the heads of our three dynamic characters. Their only hope to save the species that they love - and perhaps their livelihood - rests fully in the success of a last resort IVF experiment.
“Kifaru is an uplifting story about people caring for animals and working for their well-being, but it's also a sad story about how humans are driving other species into extinction”
“Every animal lover needs to see Kifaru.”
Director : David Hambridge
Principal Cast: Joseph Wachira, Jacob Anampiu, James Mwenda
Country: Kenya
Year: 2019
Running Time: 81 minutes
Speaker Lindsey Kirkman, Assistant Curator of Pachyderms at the Denver Zoo
Lindsey Kirkman has worked in animal care at the Denver Zoo for over 8 years, first as a pachyderm keeper and now as the Assistant Curator of Pachyderms (or the “keeper of the keepers” as she likes to describe it). She has had an affinity for rhinos, specifically, ever since doing an observation project on them in middle school at the local zoo. After graduating from the University of Georgia with a degree in Wildlife Biology, she began her zookeeping career at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Florida. Her travels have taken her to both Tanzania and Nepal, where she has been fortunate to see rhinos in the wild. Her most recent love is a greater one-horned rhino calf born at the Denver Zoo on February 22, 2020.
